Yes , I know that. Link leads to Honeycomb Airbus throttle pack, a Honeycomb Aeronautical product as OP was asking about.

I really don't want to mount them on top of my desk, because that's where my keyboard and mouse is. I'm thinking about doing an under the desk mount which will save me a lot of desktop real estate but then if I go that route, then I'm concerned with clearance under the desk for my knees when I sit. I'll have to do some experimentation and see.

I had my keyboard lying on top of Alpha and Bravo and it worked great.

I'm a left handed, so I mounted the Bravo on the left side of the Yoke and had the mouse on the right,

I see. I'm waiting until my bravo gets here before I decide on what to do. Gonna do the typical desk mount 1st and try it for a few days to see how I feel about it.

They have a "Mouse" tray coming that attaches to the bottom of the bravo...

Nice, I hope they will come out with more addons, such as different type of mounts and stuff like that.

I like the throttle pack, although since getting it I've barely flown Airbus.  I wasn't exactly sure what it was as the description is a bit lacking. 

I think its quite well engineered and definitely worth it if you fly Airbus.  They seem to be built with a higher quality and less flex than the default throttle levers.  

The middle two throttles come with reversers, they lock into place until the reversers are up and then they can be pushed down in the detent.  For the flaps you have to "squeeze" the knob to move them although they move smoothly and do not click into place.  The TO/GA button is quite neatly magnetically attached to the sides so it can be completely customised for 2 and 4 engine configuration.

Are they still actively developing this mouse pad for the bravo? I saw this concept art back in may 2020 but no news after that.

The Alpha and Bravo have a nice flat surface so when mounted side by side you can easily put your keyboard right on top. My desk has a pull out flat surface on the right, perfect for the mouse.

can one use this throttle without the yoke?

You can indeed. I use it with the Fulcrum One Yoke (and also use my Thrustmaster Airbus sidestick for various button options, along with the matching throttle's buttons).
